我们以居住在美国各地社区的2，045名专业人士为样本，研究了社区多样性对工作场所的溢出效应。使用社区多样性的2项指标来研究溢出效应：员工在种族或民族上与其他人的相似程度。他们的社区以及对社区多样性气候的看法。与群体威胁和种族隔离的理论相一致，与主要生活在白色社区的白人相比，与其社区种族不同的白人表达了更强烈的离开社区并最终离开工作场所的意图。然而，社区的多样性气候抵消了这些关系;白人谁住在社区，是种族不同的，他们，但经历了包容性的气候，有较低的移动意图比那些在社区的经验，作为种族不容忍。相比之下，对于有色人种，社区多样性气候，而不是种族相似性的社区，预测移动的意图。对于这两个群体，在社区的多样性气候预测移动的意图，这反过来又预测工作人员的离职意向，求职行为，和身体症状的压力在工作中。这些研究结果表明，打算离开自己的社区，并最终一个人的工作场所，社区的经验和社区的感知多样性气候的影响。
We examined the spillover of community diversity to the workplace using a sample of 2,045 professionals living in communities across the U.S. Spillover effects were examined using 2 measures of community diversity: the degree to which employees were racially or ethnically similar to others in their community and perceptions of their community's diversity climate. Aligned with theories of group threat and racial segregation, Whites who were racially dissimilar to their communities expressed stronger intentions to leave their communities, and ultimately their workplaces, than those living in primarily White communities. However, community diversity climate offset these relationships; Whites who lived in communities that were racially dissimilar to them, but experienced the climate as inclusive, had lower moving intentions than those in communities that were experienced as racially intolerant. In contrast, for people of color, community diversity climate, rather than racial similarity to the community, predicted moving intentions. For both groups, the diversity climate in the community predicted moving intentions, which in turn predicted work turnover intentions, job search behaviors, and physical symptoms of stress at work. These findings suggest that the intention to leave one's community, and ultimately one's workplace, is influenced by community experiences and the community's perceived diversity climate.
